They had to do it; it was a 'must' - to take a photo of the English telephone box. Of course - who wouldn't? It's an icon! Very proud of it we are too in jolly old Britain. Where Monsieur took this exactly in England recently, I do not know, he will have to appear in the comments box to enlighten us all. As far as I know, the Benauts are still at the link on yesterday's post, if you want to catch the latest part of their tour.

Ah, the iconic English telephone box! I just saw one of those around here the other day and now I can't remember where... Oh wait. Now I remember: at the British Pantry in Aldie, Virginia--A quaint little shop that sells British foodstuffs to expats and Anglophiles.

So the benauts are slowly on their way. I'm planning to see them in Avignon on September 9th, but I'm afraid that I'm nowhere near as organized as my fellow bloggers - I haven't planned for a meeting with Madame le Maire nor with the Pope (OK, this one's long gone) - no official visits, no bodyguards, no street parade with Aussie flags... damned, I'm bloody useless!

Hi everyone! We finally made it to Montpellier but havent caught up with Marie yet. M.B is sleeping and I,m using a french keyboard in the hotel lobby. We spent last night at Brive la Gaillarde. Nathalie, we shall telephone you on the 9th when we get to Avignon. So far so good for travelling. I drive and M.B navigates in a nice Merc C220!Thank you Anne Reeves for your lovely message and to all those who are following our journey. Very much love to all and especially Lynn at Cheltenham for posting for us. xxxxx Mme B
